what it actually says is thanks for blocking this, I was brilliantly (super) able to get to my electricity meter
…

you probably need to get to your meter to do a reading for landlords or if you have a pay card reader. Haven’t seen them in Germany really but could be same as in some places in the Uk where you need to load up you meter with pre-paid credits.

Well, gee Jerry, I highly doubt the Germans let Anne keep her jewelry when they incarcerated her in a Concentration Camp and then proceeded to work her until she died of typhus due to the poor sanitation in the camps, plus her weakened state due to malnutrition and overwork didn’t help in fighting off disease…

Furthermore, Anne Frank ended up at Bergen-Belsen, which is in Germany. And CB and I shouldn’t have to explain it, but yes, once the Nazis pillaged the countries they took over, they took the jewelry and valuables back to Germany for themselves.

Jerry at #9.9 (and others), Anne Frank was indeed German. Her family moved to Holland to escape what was happening in Germany. Unfortunately, that move only delayed things, but didn’t save them and only the father, Otto Frank, survived.

yeah, no. No mixed stereotypes. I have no idea why you think that there are mixed stereotypes. Forget Anne Frank, the joke is “jewelry from dead Jews killed during the Holocaust” the name Anne Frank was chosen simply because she is quite famous.

well if you want to get all technical ugh, she wasn’t famous when she wore the jewelry! or when it was taken from her… I mean, how would they actually know they had Anne Frank’s jewelry anyways, unless it was somehow left in the Secret Annex – I highly doubt that even the highly efficient German people took the time to catalog every single necklace they stole from a scared 15 year old girl…

and has nobody here given thought to any gold teeth she may or may not have had ripped from her skull before being stripped and shorn and put to work??

god, people, think of the childern! why are we fighting over semantics?!?
